Above Nissaki on the northeast coast of Corfu, there are some quite delightful conversions of old stone houses, set amidst olive groves, overlooking wonderful views. Yet the beaches and pleasant, friendly village of Nissaki are just 1 km away - barely a few minutes by car. Villa Kefalaki is one such villa. Quiet and totally private, its spacious outside terraces afford ample space for outdoor meals in sun or shade. The views really are spectacular. Tavernas and a supermarket/bakery are nearby.
Layout
Entry to the villa is via the main terrace, reached by a few steps up from the parking area. Once inside, all rooms are on one level with no steps throughout making Villa Kefalaki suitable for anyone with mobility problems. There is a living area, kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The property has been most sympathetically restored, allowing the old stone walls to speak for themselves. These same stone walls do, of course, help to keep the house cool in summer, but for extra comfort, the whole property is air conditioned.
Living Area
The lounge, with comfortable seating, features exposed stone walls, contrasting with the rich tones of the wooden ceiling, and an open fireplace.
The dining area is close to the kitchen, although with the shaded outside terrace and its magical views being so convenient for the kitchen too, it is unlikely to get much use!
Kitchen
The galley style kitchen is well equipped with large fridge freezer and dishwasher. (A washing machine is located in the master bathroom.)
(View from kitchen window) A convenient window, opening from the kitchen on to the covered terrace, doubles as a serving hatch at meal times, not to mention framing an idyllic view!
Bedrooms
Each bedroom has 'French Doors' offering easy access to the main patio and pool - essential for that early morning swim.
Master Bedroom
The master bedroom, with a double bed, has an en suite bathroom. French windows open to a private southfacing terrace with sea views and direct pool access.
The three bedrooms are air conditioned.
2nd Bedroom
The second bedroom is a twin and has French doors opening on to the main patio.
3rd Bedroom
Attractively furnished with a modern version of the traditional iron bed.
Bathrooms
There is a bathroom with full bath and shower fitment en suite to the Master bedroom, and a shower room shared by the other two bedrooms.
The nearby Vitamins Taverna offers a collection and return service - to save you from walking or driving from your villa.
Nearby Bar
The Midnight Bar is on the main road where you turn off for Villa Kefalaki - it is quiet and friendly and conveniently equipped with Internet access. The local supermarket is right next door, and a very good taverna is just along the road. Beach access from here too.

Gardens
The villa surroundings are very prettily finished with fruit and olive trees and bright geraniums.

Nissaki
Nissaki is a small pretty resort with a horseshoe-shaped beach, offering excellent swimming and water sports. There are several tavernas specialising in local cuisine. A small harbour shelters the many little fishing boats that are moored there and there is a jetty/collection point for the Taverna Agni water taxi which offers an evening service to Taverna Agni and a twice-weekly trip to Corfu Town.

Places Close By
Kaminaki
Kaminaki, located on Corfu's north-east coastline is spectacularly beautiful, but has remained uniquely unspoilt in spite of its celebrity-status.
Kaminaki is one of the small and enchanting bays that stud this coastline like jewels on a necklace. Still only a hamlet, with village houses occupied by their original local inhabitants, it has a mixture of modern and converted accommodation, two unpretentious tavernas (and others within easy reach), and water of Caribbean colours that laps against a gently shelving beach of pure white pebbles and sand.
Krouzeri Beach
Krouzeri has a long beach (sandy and pebbles) offering safe swimming, water sports and diving. Beachside tavernas provide welcome refreshments to those enjoying the beach and excellent snorkelling. The nearby Nissaki Beach Hotel offers a swimming pool which is open to non-residents, a restaurant and bar and, during the evening a low-key disco. There is a jetty/collection point for the water taxis which operate in the area.
Kalami
Kalami: The bay of Kalami nestles below the hills of the North East Corfu and is famous for
both its beautiful beach, and Lawrence Durrell's 'White House'. A popular destination for couples, Kalami is also
ideal for a family holiday with tavernas, safe swimming, water sports and boat hire - everyone is catered for!
Agni Bay
Agni Bay: In Greek Agni means un-spoilt and this describes Agni perfectly - just
three Tavernas (each with their own jetty for mooring up to) and a sprinkle of local buildings. The bay is reached mainly by rented motor boats, although recently
there is now a narrow road down into the bay. Each evening we offer a 'Speed Boat' taxi service, from surrounding bays to Taverna Agni. The above video shows the exciting experience.
